I’m halfway through the second book. There is a lot that’s very culturally specific and while Ken Liu provides notes for a lot of it, there’s some stuff that he doesn’t really explain, which may be part of it. Some of it is just the way things are written or described, it’s a different style.

The cultural content, particularly that set during the cultural revolution is interesting. It’s the sci fi bits that I’m finding kind of blah.
